Mission Impossible.

Sunday is election day.

It's a time to take a stand, to decide, which side you are on, politically.
It's time to vote, and decide who is going to decide how Sweden is going to be, in the near future.
It comes to two sides.
One side, where you seem to be hostile towards immigrants & aganst the rights of those who aren't heterosexual, you are blue.
On the other side, you seem to be all snowed in with the environment & communist, you are red.

Is it really that simple?
That your decision should be based on which part that isn't the worst, to take stand for?

I'm basing my decison on the fact, that my daughter have the longest days in child care. She's there the earliest, and there the longest, while I'm at work.
I'm a single mom. I have to work to get by, financially.
In Lo's group, there is 21 other children. Those 22 children together is supposed to get the attention from the 3 (!) teachers that is responsible for their safety and that they get enough attention.
Mission impossible.

The blue side, have a GREAT (?) solution for the problem, of those teachers, that have a too heavy burden at school.
"Let's close it earlier. The child care."
Ok.. Then how should we do with work, when we pick them up?
"Well.. we have this law you see, that you can go down in work to only work 80 %, without risking getting laid off. Then, I guess that the parents have to take turns, in picking the children up from school."
Heh.. Right.. Then how will I find the 20% of loss in income, since I don't have anyone to help me. I'm alone you see. I can't "take turns" with anyone, like all other single moms can't.
"Well.. We are going to lower the taxes you see! So you will get motivated to get a extra job, and earn more money since the taxes woun't be that high, if you earn more. The higher the income, the lower the taxes.."

So right.. When I don't have my daughter, I should work more?
Right.
And the money they are saving in at closing early, in my expense, should go to finance the lower taxes?
Right.

You go blue.
I go red.
